    Incredibly Stupid Laws

    I was surfing around the 'net and found this list of things that are illegal here in Baltimore, Maryland (USA). Not sure if it's legit, but it really got me laughing:

    -It’s illegal to throw bales of hay from a second-story window within the city limits.
    -It’s illegal to take a lion to the movies.
    -It is a park rule violation to be in a public park with a sleeveless shirt.
    -No person who is a “tramp” or “vagrant” shall loiter in any park at any time.
    -It is a violation of city code to sell chicks or ducklings to a minor within 1 week of the Easter holiday.
    -Though you may spit on a city roadway, spitting on city sidewalks is prohibited.
    -You may not curse inside the city limits.

    Are there any incredibly stupid laws where you live? (Besides age of consent and pedophilia, I'm frankly tired of that same discussion).

    I don't know exactly how it work there, with the states. I guess it's like a country, with their own laws. Our government made the laws and that counts for the whole country. I can't think of any stupid laws.
    The laws that you mentioned can never never be introduced here, but it made me laugh

      Apparently in one of the states, it is illegal to eat ice cream on Sunday. But I don't remember which one it is.

        Here's a couple from Pennsylvania

        Fireworks stores may not sell fireworks to Pennsylvania residents.
        You may not sing in the bathtub.
        All liquor stores must be run by the state.
        Motorized vehicles are not to be sold on Sundays.

        In Allentown there is a ban on men becoming aroused in public

              Just so you know Pooky, most of these laws aren't enforced. They are usually left over from the 1800/early 1900s

                    That one about pissing in a policeman's hat if you're pregnant.

                      It is legal to drive the wrong way down a one-way street if you have a lantern attached to the front of your car in Alabama

                        Re: Incredibly Stupid Laws

                        A lantern? The old-school kind? Like one of these?



                        Or did you mean a light, like the kind unmarked cop cars have?

                        Because police can drive however the hell they please here, especially when there's a chase.

                          I would be really tempted to do it and then point out the law when I got ticketed for it.
